Analysis, part 9c - Right Chest Pocket, Zipper Placement

The right chest pocket zipper was horizontal and parallel to the upper edge of the pocket.

NOTE: The following abundance of examples are provided solely to contextualize another observation we made - that not all right chest pocket zippers were parallel to the upper edge of the pocket/division stripe! This observation and corresponding examples will be presented later in our "Miscellaneous Observations and Errors." For now, just note that the vast majority of right chest pocket zippers were parallel to the upper edge of the pocket/division stripe.

The placement of the zipper varied, but it appeared to usually be positioned so its upper edge was 1" from the pocket's upper edge and its centermost edge was ¼" from the pocket's centermost edge.

An possible exception to this general standard was Lieutenant Reed, whose fourth season ENT jumpsuit's right chest pocket zipper appeared to be slightly lower - perhaps 1 ¼":

An obvious exception, however, was Captain Hernandez's ENT jumpsuit; her right chest pocket zipper appeared to be positioned approximately ½" from the pocket's upper edge and 1" away from the pocket's centermost edge.

Captain Hernandez's ENT jumpsuit right chest pocket zipper was not indicative of a gender-specific standard; note that both Hoshi's and Crewman Cutler's zippers were positioned more or less "normally":

We're therefore inclined to dismiss Captain Hernandez' uniform as an anomaly (erroneous or otherwise).
